I had the same problem with both VelocityServlet and VelocityViewServlet. I had
to look at the Velocity-source to find out that the following is not correct,
although the documentation states otherwise:
<init-param>
<param-name>properties</param-name>
<param-value>/velocity.properties</param-value>
</init-param>
param-name has to be "org.apache.velocity.properties" and not "properties".

Betreff: newbie - can't get VelocityServlet to read configuration file
Hi,
I've just started working with Velocity under Mac OSX using the book
'Pro Jakarta Velocity' and am having one problem...
I've set up a simple 'Hello, World' type servlet as a subclass of
VelocityServlet. It works, but I can't get it to read any sort of
configuration parameters.
I have in my web.xml file the following:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>HelloWorldVelocity</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>
com.maturus.battletextwww.HelloWorldVelocity
</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>properties</param-name>
<param-value>/velocity.properties</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
...and my velocity.properties file (which is in the correct place) is:
resource.loader=file,class
# FILE RESOURCE LOADER
file.resource.loader.class =
org.apache.velocity.runtime.resource.loader.FileResourceLoader
file.resource.loader.path = /Developer/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.31/webapps/
battletxt/WEB-INF/classes
file.resource.loader.cache = false
file.resource.loader.modificationCheckInterval = 2
# CLASSPATH RESOURCE LOADER
class.resource.loader.class=org.apache.velocity.runtime.resource.loader.
ClasspathResourceLoader
class.resource.loader.cache=false
class.resource.loader.modificationCheckInterval=1
...however none of these settings appear to impact the velocity
runtime whatsoever. I presume the <init-param> is being read OK as
when I change the reference to a file that doesn't exist I get an
error as one would expect.
Any help much appreciated...
